Yeah, I know, it's been a while since I had more Hanafurirou... ^_^;; I got distracted. And this time it's a short little thing, so I'll try to make it less time before the next hit! ^_^;; Anyway, not a lot of time right now, so I'll be short. Here's more Hanafurirou. Just a cute little scene with sulking Kagerou (immediately after the fun of last time).
A short while later, Kagerou curled up and buried himself under the futon.
Even though Kichou had cleaned him up with a wet towel after he came, he was sticky all over, even between his thighs.
"Stop sulking already."
Kichou leaned down to peek in and pester him, and he just buried himself even deeper. He wasn't just angry, he was also so embarrassed he couldn't even look at Kichou.
"Kagerou."
"...You tricked me."
He was sure that hadn't just been "trying it out."
"I didn't trick you. I was just teasing you a little."
"Teasing...!?" Without thinking, he stuck his head out to yell.
Kichou made a face like, "Oh, he emerged."
"It was all good, wasn't it? Now you know you'll be fine. I was up to three fingers at the end."
Kagerou's face flushed red at those words. He had no idea what was going on by the end. To think that he had been stretched out that far.
Once again, he pulled the futon back over his head.
"Aw, you went back into hiding. Hurry up and forgive me already!"
"...So I'll be doing that with clients someday?"
Kichou fell silent for a moment after hearing Kagerou's softly muttered words.
"...Though that's not for a long time yet."
"......"
Yeah... it was still several years until his debut. It wasn't worth thinking about just now. But then... exactly what just happened?
Kagerou sat up suddenly. "Let me do it too."
"Huh?"
"You know...! Lemme try that out on you, too!"
"I'll be just fine, so no need!"
"And how do you know!? Did a customer...?"
"No, I never let them. --Oh, shit. Isn't it time to help with preparations? We'll get yelled again if we're late."
"Kichou...!"
Obviously avoiding the question, Kichou stood. "Let's go."
Then he grabbed Kagerou's hand and pulled him up.
Even though he was mad at being the only one to get toyed with, Kichou was right. It was getting late, and it wasn't time to be having a fight.
"But I'll get him later." With that thought, Kagerou ran from the storage room alongside Kichou.
"I wonder if he'll get mad again."
The keisei Kagerou was assigned to after Tamafuyou was once again of the particularly strong-willed type. But really, even if you were pretty on the outside, you couldn't really fight for the top spot if you weren't strong inside.
"He always does." Kichou laughed as they ran down the stairs and headed for the right room.
"Like it has nothing to do with you...!"
"It doesn't."
"Arrgh...!"
He was about to reach out to hit Kichou when they hurtled round a corner and Kichou ran into someone and stopped in his tracks. Kagerou's face smashed into his back.
When he peeked out from behind Kichou, he saw an old man in a kimono and a boy standing in front of them. The boy was about the same age as him and Kichou.
Most likely they were a client and his grandson.
Some clients, to fool their wives, took their children and grandchildren to the brothels with them-- In a way, it was a habit left over from the old days of Yoshiwara. There was still the odd customer left who had been dragged along to brothels by a father or grandfather when he was young and who brought his own child or grandchild with him without a second thought. While the client was busy, the unoccupied iroko and shinzou played with and looked after the children.
"Sorry, excuse me...!" Kichou said to them before starting forward again.
Kagerou also apologized. Then, when he turned to follow after Kichou, he met the boy's gaze.
